Crashed my P4. Had a bunch of ESC errors. A member suggested I check the cables, and he was right, there was a cable that had come out of one of the ESC boards.
Now no errors, but bird has a problem holding its altitude. The higher I go, the worse this becomes, higher than 30m, it's altitude can drop or increase by 5m or more before it corrects itself.
I assume this is the pressure sensor on the main board, so I will replace that.
But my other problem is the gimbal.
On start up, it doesn't straighten itself, unless I help it, then it's fine.
During flight, mostly it's fine, but then it has a slight "stiff" response when it's correcting itself. On one test flight, it fell completely down on the right and would not correct itself, and I got a "gimbal motor overload" message. Can this also be a main controller issue or is it a gimbal problem?
I don't want to replace the MC, only then to still have to take the drone in for repairs.
